This article is about how RNA can be used to repair or rewrite DNA. They don't actually talk about genetic engineering directly (hence how I asked the subject as a question).
So, do we need to worry about those mRNA vac...read more

I've invented a system to help keep track of which plants are which, and where they came from.
You don't have to worry about what my IDs or names mean--but if you're curious, here you go.
If you wish to use this system yourself, and are new to it, feel free to consult with me, if you want ...read more

So, a few months ago, or so, I got the idea that it would be easier, prior to baking, just to score my potatoes with a knife than to poke them with a fork. Knifes are easier to wash, and it takes less effort to score than to poke.
So, I did it, and the potatoes cooked a lot more nicely, too. ...read more

I haven't experimented terribly with creating chicken sandwiches. So, I decided it's about time to start.
I live with a relative who likes plain, unseasoned, unadorned baked chicken. No seasonings. No sauces. Just the natural flavor. I like to flavor and/or sauce things.
Anyway, I decided ...read more

My favorite string cheese is currently one I just tried:
Frigo Cheese Heads Original String. Here's the barcode: 041716840887.
Anyway, it has that nice squeaky/rubbery feel on my teeth and that nice taste peculiar to cheese curds. However, despite the texture, it's quite soft, and interest...read more
